The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) announced that 180,000 SASSA grant recipients will not receive their grants due to non-compliance.

A survey by Stats SA showed that over 40% of individuals in the country received a social grant, but South Africans argued that foreigners also received it.

The Department of Social Department has rejected a petition for the old age grant to be increased to R5,000, but South Africans suggested how it could be done.

The CEO of Postbank, Nikki Mbengashe, said Postbank has given SASSA grant recipients until 31 May to switch from using gold cards to the new black card.

The 11 accused of defrauding the South African Social Services Agency have been remanded in jail after their bail hearing was postponed to 10 June.

South Africans are in disbelief after a Tembisa man was arrested and found in possession of fraudulent documents, including driver's licenses and identity documents.

SASSA has blamed the Department of Home Affairs for a "blunder" which led to dead beneficiaries being paid out 75,000 times, amounting to R140 million in losses.

The National Prosecuting Authority confirmed that over 1,000 charges will be levelled against SASSA officials arrested for the theft of R265 million from the agency.

Members of Parliament have welcomed the arrest of SASSA officials allegedly involved in R265 million fraud, but South Africans aren't celebrating the news.
